MISS JULIA ROCKS THE CRADLE

There's plenty going on at Miss Julia's house these days. Hazel Marie is expecting twins and when they arrive in the midst of a snowstorm, there is a very unlikely group to deliver them. Then, a dead man was discovered in the toolshed of one of Lloyd's teachers and the whole town is speculating who died there and why. There is also the matter of Miss Julia bouncing checks around town and of course, she is certain that it must be the bank's fault, not hers. Julia promised Sam she wouldn't get involved in other peoples' affairs but a promise like that can be hard to keep!

It's been awhile since I read a Miss Julia book and this one was lots of fun. Julia is so funny in her prim and proper ways. She is great when she finally decides to follow her heart and set aside the rules of decorum which seem so important to her at times. There seemed to be a little less whining in this book and things kept moving along at a good pace. I won't rush but I'm sure that I'll be reading another Miss Julia book in the future.
